The Japanese animation industry has been challenged by coronavirus epidemic.
日本动漫行业因新冠病毒疫情遭遇挑战。
As of June 1, a total of 45 television and movie animations in Japan have been delayed or stopped broadcasting, including the beloved "Chibi Maruko-chan," which has run for the past 30 years.
截至6月1日，共有45部日本动画电视剧和电影推迟或者停止播放，包括已经播放超过30年的广受大众喜爱的《樱桃小丸子》。
Since officials declared a state of emergency for the Tokyo metropolitan area on April 7, one local animation production company made its employees work from home. The head of the company said that most animations need special drawing paper and a light pad.
自4月7日官方宣布东京市区进入紧急状态以来，当地一家动画制作公司让员工在家工作。该公司的负责人说，大多数动画需要特殊的画纸和光垫。
Drawing at home is not only time consuming but also decreases efficiency due to the back and forth as drawings are submitted and revised. The work of employees who drew animations by hand was made 30 percent less efficient as a result.
在家里画画不仅费时，还会因为图纸提交和修改的来回切换中降低效率。那些手绘动画的员工的工作效率降低了30%。
Animation dubbing has also been hit hard. Japanese media has reported that a number of Japanese voice actors and actresses tested positive for COVID-19. As dubbing needs to be carried out in an enclosed environment, all animation dubbing work has been suspended since April. A recording studio in Tokyo reopened on June 1 after a nearly two-month closure.
动画配音也受到了重创。据日本媒体报道，多名日本声优被检测出COVID-19阳性。由于配音工作需要在封闭环境下进行，所有动画配音工作自四月起暂停。在关闭近两个月后，东京的一家录音室于6月1日重新营业。
A survey by the Association of Japanese Animations has shown that the Japanese animation market made 2.18 trillion yen (19.7 billion U.S. dollars) in 2018. The suspension of one section in its long and closely-connected production chain will trigger a domino effect of problems for the other stages.
日本动漫协会的一项调查显示，2018年日本动漫市场收入达到2.18万亿日元(197亿美元)。在该行业持续而紧密相连的生产链条中，某一环节的暂停将对其他环节产生多米诺效应。
Delays in the animation industry will affect subsequent cooperative projects such as music and games, as well as the sales of derivative products.
动漫产业的延期推迟会影响到后续的音乐、游戏等合作项目，以及衍生产品的销售。
